Hamburger Heaven, the transplanted, vintage diner that moved across the bridge from Palm Beach into a finicky corner of Clematis Street, has closed its doors.

The downtown West Palm Beach location, open since January 2013, had tried its best to preserve the spirit of the iconic diner that had operated on the island since the 1940s and served several generations of Palm Beach families. (A landlord dispute triggered the diner’s closing of its 53-year location at 314 S. County Road in June 2012.)

Owner Cynthia Rosa announced the closing on March 30 on the restaurant’s Facebook page:

“Dear Friends, Family and HH Fans both old and new,
Hamburger Heaven is now closed at the Clematis St. location.
We would like to say thanks for all your great support. Look for us again soon. Love, Cindy, Peggy and the HH family.”
